I am very opposed to restricting licensure this way. This disqualifies people who come to the mental health field from other similar fields, such as myself. We need to look at having more qualified counselors and therapists, not less. Not everyone graduates from a specific masters program and then practices. For example, I am a school psychologistt with a Master's plus 30 degree. I only needed 6 additional classes to qualify for licensure in Maryland. Having this opportunity has given me greater experience in brining new techniques and therapies to the students I work with on a daily basis. Please do not enact this restrictive licensure plan.
